Text rewrite: "About us" page of a family bakery for new customers

Before (excerpt)

It all began many, many years ago, back in 1987, when our grandmother Rosa, who had always loved baking ever since she was a little girl growing up in the countryside, decided, after a lot of thinking and with the support of the whole family, to open a small bakery on Mill Lane. In those days there were not so many bakeries around and people really appreciated having fresh bread. Over the years, we have grown a lot and nowadays we bake more than 40 kinds of bread and pastries every day, and we also try our best to use local ingredients whenever it is possible to do so.

After (excerpt)

Baking on Mill Lane since 1987

Rosa opened our first bakery on Mill Lane in 1987 with one oven and three recipes from her village. Today her grandchildren run two shops and bake more than 40 kinds of bread and pastries every morning.

We still work the way she did: long, slow fermentation, flour from a mill 30 miles away and butter from a local dairy. As Rosa put it, "Good bread needs time, not tricks."

For cafés and restaurants

Since 2024 we also bake for cafés. Order by 2 pm and your bread arrives before 7 am the next day, six days a week.

What was changed:

  • Repeated ideas cut (the "love of baking" appeared 5 times; now once, through what Rosa did)
  • Vague phrases like "try our best to use local ingredients" replaced with the concrete facts you gave us elsewhere on the page (the mill, the dairy)
  • A new section for cafés built only from the wholesale details in your brief (order time, delivery time, days)
  • Headings added so a café owner can find "For cafés" without reading the whole story

What stayed exactly the same: the year 1987, Mill Lane, "more than 40 kinds", the 30-mile distance to the mill and Rosa's quote, word for word.

Client: Larkfield Bakery, a family bakery with two shops and a new wholesale line for cafés Input: the "About us" page, 1,380 words, written 10 years ago for neighbours who already knew the family Brief: rewrite for café owners and new customers; keep it warm but shorter and more concrete; keep all dates, numbers and the grandmother's quote unchanged

The client and all details are made up.

About this service

Many texts must fit a hard limit: a 250-word abstract, a 650-word application essay, a grant field or a LinkedIn summary. We cut your text down to the exact limit by removing repetition, filler and side points, merging sentences and keeping every key idea, number and name. You also get a short note on what was cut, so you can put back anything you miss.
